Mental Health

Non invasive cosmetic medicine

Education via the use of multimedia and Internet technology.

I was trained in medicine at the University of Queensland graduating in 2003.

Having completed my internship in Brisbane, I worked in acute psychiatry at The Prince Charles Hospital, Logan Hospital and Port Macquarie Base Hospital.

Given my keen interest in business and education I moved my focus towards general practice to allow for the flexibility to continue my interest in mental health and foster my growth in the area of education in particular via electronic media.

During my general practice training in Byron Bay I have enjoyed work both in face to face patient setting and as an educator for both patients and doctors in training.
